Fraudster Sklarov Held Without Bail

from Chicago News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Convicted fraudster Vladimir Sklarov, a Ukrainian-American with deep U.S. roots, is held without bail in Chicago, awaiting trial in New York for scamming Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego out of over $450 million. Sklarovs lengthy criminal history, including Medicare and welfare fraud, and his recent wire transfers of millions to his family, have led prosecutors to label him untrustworthy. He faces lawsuits worldwide for similar scams and will appear in New York court on Monday. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
